Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster did that thing where athletes go undercover at stores or restaurants to prank fans, and not only was it funny as he pretended to be a fan of himself, but he also ended up proposing to one of the customers.

Smith-Schuster put on a pair of glasses - not exactly the most elaborate disguise - and as people walked into a DICK'S Sporting Goods, he pretended to help them pick up their preordered packages.

He asked people if they like football and who their favorite players are, and he had delightful exchanges like this:

Smith-Schuster: My mom and dad, they went to USC, so I'm a big fan of JuJu.

Customer: He's sweet. I like him too.

Smith-Schuster: Don't we all?

After he modeled a backpack for one woman, he asked her if she would recognize JuJu if she saw him. She said she probably would, and he followed up:

Smith-Schuster: What would you say if you saw him right now?

Customer: Will you marry me?

Smith-Schuster: Really? (Gets down on one knee.) Will you marry me? Because I'm JuJu Smith-Schuster. Is that a yes?
